Tides Online is a continually updated database of tidal information maintained by NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services. The site contains data from stations from every coastal state in the US including the Great Lakes. The main page shows which stations are currently under a "storm surge" and contains the links to the individual station data -- of which the easiest to use is the State Maps page. Here users can choose a state and then the station in which they are interested. The data itself contains the time and date and the observed height in graph form. Those interested in further information can click on the Data Listing link to view the complete records. Even though the site is not as user friendly as it could be, anyone interested in tidal information will appreciate this helpful resource. [JAB]
